This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Putting things like basic ethics aside...

... does anyone really believe that the Home Office, which cant deal with its present asylum responsibilities, is going to be able to review every application, every 30 months?

Brighton were on a run of just one victory in their previous 13 Premier League matches before winning the last two in a row.

Today is the second time Gabriel and Saliba have combined for a Premier League goal after Saliba assisted his teammate in August 2022 against Fulham, from a corner.

This was the ninth time in the Premier League this season that Arsenal have scored a match-winning goal from a corner, now the outright most by a team in a single campaign (overtaking Manchester United’s eight in 2012-13).

Arsenal have gone 1-0 up from a corner on nine occasions in the Premier League this season, the joint-most by a team in a single campaign, along with Southampton in 1994-95 (9).

Arsenal's 16 goals from corners in the Premier League this season is the joint-most by any side in a single campaign, alongside Oldham in 1992-93, West Brom in 2016-17, and the Gunners themselves in 2023-24.

I think Arsenal should come out of the dressing room for the second half.

Arsenal have dropped points after being ahead against Man Utd, Brentford and Wolves in recent weeks. Can't keep allowing that to happen.

Eberechi Eze has scored each of his last 11 Premier League goals in London, with all six of his goals for Arsenal this season coming in London derbies (1 vs Crystal Palace, 5 vs Spurs), the most ever by a player in a season without scoring outside of London derby games.

Polanski and Farage have more in common than you might think Despite huge political differences, the Green and Reform leaders have much in common, writes Laura Kuenssberg.

So typical of the BBC to make an historic win for the Green Party this week into a story involving Farage and Reform. The level of bias at the BBC is embarrassing.

Arsenal will play Leverkusen.

We are in a different half of the draw to Man City, Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool and obviously Bayern.

Bodo Glimt or Sporting Lisbon in the 1/4 finals if we get past Leverkusen!

It's easy to do nothing. Better at least to try to do something to create more equity across European football.
